The only one I saw was at Steve Wolfe's hanger in the early '90s and I
thought that it was interesting at the time but I didn't learn any more
about it than the engine installation. The performance specs for the
Jacobs
powered version would also work. What I am trying to accomplish is an
interesting, but affordable to fly classic by re-powering an engineless
Beech 18.

Do you think that in the long run R985s might be the best route? They would
give you better resale and are pretty near bullet proof. Fuel burn would be
a consideration and might eat up a lot of the increase in resale.
